Approach
"It's about something larger than yourself. It's about serving this world, helping others."
-Walter Issacson
Everyone is unique and has a unique story. Investing in yourself or your relationship is a choice you will never regret. Everyone is entitled to feel good about themselves, as well as to be loved. I believe therapy is about working together with the client to help him/her find increased happiness and success. There may not always be that magic answer to the problem at hand - which is frustrating - but together, change is possible. I strive to empower clients to feel an increase in self-worth and the ability to manage life stressors not just today, but to assist for years to come.
In marriage/couples counseling, I view the relationship as the client. I use various interventions and techniques to increase communication and empathy, foster better understanding, and created a shared sense of life together.
In counseling, I help clients identify coping skills and strategies to overcome barriers they are currently facing. My integrated approach of cognitive behavioral therapy and solution focused therapy, coupled with the client's strengths and story, is used to foster change.
My clients are probably a lot like you. It is more than okay to reach out, have a listening and encouraging ear, and want something to be different within your life.
